Robert Pattinson is taking on a new role – comic book star. Twilight’s Edward Cullen will get animated in Fame, an eagerly-awaited new comic book series from Bluewater Productions. Bluewater is the publisher behind the Female Force biography series that has featured influential women like First Lady Michelle Obama, Princess Diana, Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, and Twilight author Stephenie Meyer.
The company expects the Pattz comic to be just as popular as its Twilight Saga series, which debuted in November.
Bluewater President Darren G. Davis said Friday: “Twilight fans want to know everything about the talented people who have brought them the story of Edward and Bella,” Davis said. “I’m pleased to be able to bring them Robert Pattinson’s story. It’s our hope that even the most devoted fans will discover a fact or two that takes them completely by surprise.”
“These biography comics are designed to illustrate interesting tidbits to fans about their favorite figureheads, and inspire them to learn more. I chose to conceptualize A-lister Robert Pattinson from a unique perspective, immersing the reader into the life of the talented actor beyond his most famous role,” comic writer Kim Sherman remarked with excitement in a statement of her own.
Rob’s comic will go on sale in May. Fame is also set to produce comic books about 50 Cent, Lady Gaga, and Taylor Swift later this year.
